This paper is an overview of recent discussions concerning the mind-body problem, which is being addressed at the interface between philosophy and neuroscience. It focuses on phenomenal features of consciousness or "qualia," which are distinguished from various related issues. Then follows a discussion of various influential skeptical arguments that question the possibility of reductive explana...

In this paper, we consider the production possibility set with n production units such that the following four principles that governs: inclusion observations, conceivability, immensity and convexity. Our goal is to estimate the output of a same and new production unit with existing production possibility and amount of input is specified. So, initially we find the interval changes of each input...

At the beginning of section 2, there is a conflation of different concepts of possibility. If we grant that imaginability is conceivability (in the sense of being describable without any logical contradictions), if we pass over “practical” possibility as a non-defined term, and grant that by “physically” possible Zahavi very likely means “nomologically” possible, it still would present a major ...

Thought experiments have long been utilized in science and philosophy. They come various forms, from Schrödinger's cat physics to the Chinese room argument Although thought are used widely, scant attention has paid how actually work. In philosophy literature, it argued that a disguised form of meaning analysis. rely on notion analyticity their basis, therefore they should be abandoned. this pap...

In some German-language contributions to the debate on free will, it is assumed or claimed that determinism not an empirically verifiable thesis. Peter Bieri, for example, thinks one must presuppose in order understand world as a conceivable world. Determinism would then be empirical thesis, but rather condition without which conceivability of cannot thought (Bieri 2001, 15/16). Geert Keil writ...

The article discusses the situation with education in modern culture and pedagogy, raises question of reasons for decline interest possibility its revival near future. meanings (widely understood education, controlled development, inclusion culture) are considered. Two conditions conceivability traditional understanding analyzed. Firstly, it is principle "epistemological transparency" (accordin...

In this paper I examine compatibilism and incompatibilism about whether the self can be both a subject an object in same awareness at time. While is old debate that many traditions of philosophy have contributed to, my point departure work A.C. Mukerji (an Indian philosopher modern era) who worked on possibility self-awareness by articulating, what he called, paradox ego-centricity. also consid...

BACKGROUND The effect of segment-specific proximal tubular injury on spatio-temporal osteopontin (OPN) distribution was determined in two different nephrotoxic rat models to evaluate its conceivability with a possible role for OPN in acute renal failure (ARF). OPN gene expression was further determined in proximal and distal tubular cells to investigate the origin of increased renal OPN. METH...
